Things to Know About Cellulaze Treatment
Written by Sarah Kathey
Cellulaze treatment is a new and advanced strategy against the dreaded cellulite that makes its presence felt on women’s thighs and buttocks. It is delivered using a cellulite laser workstation by the same name and manufactured by the renowned brand - Cynosure®. Cynosure® is also the manufacturer of the Smartlipo Triplex™ liposuction system. Read on to know some important things about this superior treatment.
Cellulaze Cellulite Treatment – What You Should Know
- FDA Approved – Cellulaze got the green signal from the FDA in January 2012.
- One-time Only Procedure – In this way, the cosmetic surgery is a total contrast to creams, lotions, massages and pills. These treatments have to be utilized repeatedly to keep up results. However the Cynosure®-introduced treatment needs to be used only once with the results remaining for at least a year.
- Unique – Cellulaze is the sole minimally invasive laser procedure that can attack the structure of cellulite under the skin instead of merely working on the surface. Other “cottage cheese” tactics only work on the surface.
- The Ideal Candidate – Cellulaze laser cellulite removal delivers optimum outcomes for women who are not considerably overweight but have slight to moderate cottage cheese growth.
- Clinically Proven – Its benefits are supported by many years of clinical research. Studies have revealed that it increases skin elasticity by 29 percent and skin thickness by 25 percent even one year after the plastic surgery.
- Its Working – As mentioned earlier, the surgery tackles the root structural issues beneath the skin. These structural issues are – the connective tissue bands under the skin and around the fat cells becoming rigid and inflexible, distended fat pockets trapped by the stiff bands pushing themselves up against the skin, and thin skin. It resolves these three issues by flattening the fat bumps, encouraging collagen production to improve skin elasticity and thickness and treating dimples by setting free the fibrous bands pulling down the skin.
- Safe – Prior to Cellulaze treatment, only local anesthesia or a numbing solution is used. Only small incisions are made on the skin of the target area. The side effects if any would be mild such as light discomfort and bruising. The smart delivery system ThermaGuide™ helps to avoid hot spots/overtreatment.
- Negligible Scarring – If adequate care is taken, scars would be hardly noticeable.
- Short Duration Procedure – The maximum time it will take is two hours.
- No Hospital Stay – The surgery is an outpatient one, which can be carried out either in a surgery center or at the physician’s office.
- Short Downtime – You can resume your regular activities after a day or two. For strenuous activity, you have to wait for a week or two to pass.
- High Patient Satisfaction – 93 percent of the patients who participated in a survey were either satisfied or highly satisfied with their outcomes one year after the surgery.
Choose Right
Now that you know all these things about Cellulaze treatment, you may be in a hurry to try it out yourself. However, make sure you choose the right plastic surgeon – someone with all the required qualifications and who has performed the procedure successfully many times, has a great bedside manner, tells you about costs and possible risks outright and is willing to answer all your questions patiently.
